Kanokon #09 — THE CAKE IS A GODDAMNED LIE
May 31st, 2008
A GODDAMNED LIE.
Impressions:
So, I have mixed feelings about this episode, but very few of them are good. The art for the first half was… ugly to say the least. If they had been using the random deformed chibi style through the whole thing, it’d be alright and I’m sure I’d shrug it right off, but there were some shots, especially of the loli twins that were just… GAH. Their heads were the wrong freaking size. Besides that, pretty much all facial expressions in the background were barely penciled in. At one point, Asahina didn’t even have eyes. The thing about styles, is that you need to be consistent. I’ve no problem with being silly and using bad art for the sake of your style, but when it’s for only one episode 8 in… yeah… no.
Anyway, the plot of the episode was that Kouta’s "sister," Minori, was lurking around and put out a hit on the successor to the Nine-Tailed fox, which is of course, Chizuru. The loli twins were the assassins of choice, after all the "check out how poor they are" jokes of course. After blowing themselves up when Chizuru threw a desk at them, they poisoned her drink, sealing her… boobs. At this point, the episode took a sharp upswing as all the characters got to make fun of Chizuru’s flat chest, but then we had a maudlin part where our little barbie doll complained about how useless she was without her chest. Yeah, way to take a stand for women everywhere you despicable harlot.
We got back to fun after Kouta perked her up and had at least a few minutes of entertaining "Bust Up" research panel. Then they sent Tayura on his way and decided to try massaging her breasts. That wasn’t working, so Kouta started poking, which gave a small result.
AND THEN WE COME TO THE KICKER OF THE EPISODE. Nozomu had the bright idea that to solve this issue, Kouta needed to stimulate Chizuru’s tail by licking it. To convince him, we used a cake comparison. Imagine it’s cake. And with that, Nozomu took Kouta’s head and shoved it into Chizuru’s ass and the licking began.
I’m honestly not sure anything I could say could adaquetely explain my reaction here. There is no cake in there. There is nothing vaguely like cake. The cake is a horrible lie. Why would you defile cake like that? What has cake ever done to you?
I… I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I’m just glad the only dessert in the house right now are brownies. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to think of cake the same way ever again.
Oh, and Minori summoned some crazy demon swarm at the end. Probably important for next episode or something.
Poor cake.
